    Gotta love Ewingar Rocks

    Ok all, so I’ve been out at Ewingar SF for the last week. Place is still fairly burnt in some areas but wow it’s come back well. The roads around the place including to the main bridge at Ewingar creek are amazing compared to my last time there about 7 years back. I have some pictures for any...

    Gotta love Ewingar Rocks

    If, once it becomes National Park and they decide to make some camping spots and dedicated fossicking areas (think the main bridge on Ewingar Creek) then I'd be more than happy with that compromise. You are exactly right about needing to prove to SF or even NPWS that not all of us are like...

    Gotta love Ewingar Rocks

    Thanks LoneWolf. I thought as much, the good ol' days are coming to a close. I guess I'll see what I can find, may as well go out there before it gets closed completely or converted to NP. At least if it's converted to NP they'll likely setup multiple nice Camping grounds within the park, and...

    Gotta love Ewingar Rocks

    Does anyone here who has been out to Ewingar know of any good camping spots nearer to the Creek? I've not been out there for a few years and I'm not sure of the quality of the road (although I heard it has been graded), or if there have been any new spots opened up near Rory's Road or down near...

    Gotta love Ewingar Rocks

    Just to make everyone aware, Ewingar has been reopened as of September 2022 following repairs to the SF after the flooding and fires. Hopefully it stays open for a while, and people respect and follow the rules for all fossicking and non-fossicking zones. I'll be out there in a few weeks again...

    Ewingar state forest

    Hi Gunna, Thanks for that, it's good to know at least so I don't go planning any trips there anytime soon. Real bugger as I was meant to go there in October last year, and here we are a year later. Oh well, lets hope it gets better soon and we can get back into it. :goldpan: Cheers

    Ewingar state forest

    By chance, has anyone heard word about Ewingar opening back up any time soon? I can see that the forestry closure is still current as of the last update on June 9, but was wondering if anyone in the community may have heard anything? Id love to get back out there in this cold weather, maybe not...

    Devastated I didnt manage to get out there when I could a week and a half ago. Time to bribe the boss for another week of leave.

    Clay gully coffs harbour

    Hi All, I went out to take a look at Clay Gully over the last week, but unfortunately I never made it to the actual mine area. I tried accessing Clay Gully via the Kangaroo Creek State forest side, but a mere 1 km from the little bridge at Clay Gully on the map, the road became so brutal that...

    Same here. I was meant to be going out the coming week camping with the missus, but not likely with the fire still going.

    Ewingar state forest

    This is horrible. I can't believe how large it is and still growing, the smoke trails are visible from space now :( I hope everyone in the surrounding villages is going to be OK. Lets hope that the wind calms down and it goes out soon.

    Bugger, Oh well at least it's not a massive trek. Always a wealth of knowledge this forum, thanks for the help Gimp, much appreciated :Y:

    Ewingar state forest

    Thanks Gimp. Is the track on the west side down towards Rory's as rough as the track on the east driving to the creek? Just wanting to make sure our little Subi forester will actually make the drive :argh: If it's around the same level of terrain we should be right. Cheers

    Ewingar state forest

    Hi All, Long time browser on this forum so I thought I'd setup an account, and hoping that this thread isn't completely dead. I've been out to Ewingar SF many times, but have never really progressed past the main Ewingar creek bridge other than navigating far up stream. I have been thinking...
